Debate on Mr. Fit%Jm<jtu't motion rela
tive to felf-creiileilfocieties.
Mr. Sedgwick's Speech.
r ' (ccwci.t>D>D.)
Mr. SEDGWICK, to expose to
the conlideiation of the cotnmiltcc the
public benefits derited from the admi
• nillrdtion of the government, controlled
the fituatiqn of the United States be
fore and since the adoption of the con
flitution. During the former period
lii laid the American name was degra
ded and disgraced—The iijf'/.ens almost
intolerably burdened bv. taxes, and yet
the revenue unproductive and public
credit prodrate—The Itatee employed
in legislative hostility. Private confi
dence destroyed, and every friend of hi&
country pf.fnfufly agitated with appre
hension of flill more dreadful confequen
ces—Duiing the latter period the A
merican name had been rendered hono
rable and glorious ; without burdening
the citizen, public credit and privatt
confidence restored; manufacture* in
flituted and navigation extended, and
every man enjoying all the blessings at
liberty and security. This, he said,
was a (tatc of society which ought not
for flight or trivial causes to have been
disturbed.
That altho'wiih refpeft to the rnea
fures of the government, and particular
ly the excise, there had exi(led a differ
ence of opinion, yet there was a very
considerable majority in favour of it:
And although iome uneasiness was at
firft expressed concerning it in fevcral
parts of the United Slates, yet cool and
temperate difcuifion had quieted and al
most annihilated opprtfition, when a so
reign agent arrived in this country.
The moment that man set his foot on
American ground, he attempted the ex
ercifc of the rights of sovereignty. In
defiance of decency and the constituted
authorities of the people, in violation of
law and our diitfea of neutrality, he at
tempted arming our citizens and invol
ving us in the horrors of war. This
unwarrantable attempt was defeated by
the vigilance, rfnd the manly patriotic
exertions of thi President. During the
route of this man from Charleston to
Philadelphia, he was every where attend
ed by the Hofanr.as of tha difaffc&ed,
and wherever he could find a fit foil, he
planted the feeds offeditious opposition
and the produce has been abundant in
tlie democratic societies throughout the
United States ; and wherev;r they
have obtained a degree of prevalence
a good disposition towards the gov
ernment and theadminiftrationof it have
been blalted.
The people had instituted their own
governments j fu'ch powersas they plcaf
ed they had delegated and such as they
chose, they had retained. They, too,
had employed such. instruments as their
wisdom dictated to express and to exe
cute their will. But the members of
these clubs revolting from tTie state of
equality of which they said so much, had
aflumed fun&ions inconsistent with
every principle of republicanism.
These societies felf created, without
delegation or controul, not emanating
from the people norrefponfible to them,
not open in their deliberations, nor ad-
V> it ting to them any but those of their
own political opinions, and of endless
duration, have modelily aflumed the
dieratter of popular inftrit&ors, guardi
ans of the people* guardians and gov- 1
ernors of their government : —These
societies thus nnconftitutionally confii.
tutcd, ought at leaf! to have been im
partialin the execution of their a (Tinned
| truth. What he alked had been their
conduct*? Was there nothing in the ad
/niijiftration of the government which
would admit of approbation i They bad
been either blind as to the discovery of
any such aft s or dishonest in the fuppref
fjorj of them.
On the other hand these societies
had loaded the characters of every man
in the adminiflration of the Govern
ment and who had aflented to its acts
with every fpeeies of talumny and dan
der. Slanders which they kuew to be
unfounded mid falfe. They had not
e»en spared the character of that great
est and best of men which
supposed to have been cloathed with
inviolability. Not indeed that paltry
inviolability which eiifts in confutation,
al prescription ; but one infinitely more
dear to an ingenuous mind, founded on
the public gratitude, and resulting from
diiinterefted and invaluable ferviccs.
fodt
It woukl he tedious said Mr. Sedg
wick, to £0 into a particular rental of
all the unwarrantable proceedings «f
the Democri'-ical.Societies —he flnould
theitfore content himfelf with mention
ing only one or two inftances—withiii
the recollection perhaps of jSvtry maii
in the committee.,
In the Democratic Society of Wythe
County, the character of the President j
*as diredlly attached, and the people
were expressly called upon to concert
measures to prevent his continuance in
office—perhaps this might be juflined
on the principles of our government —
they did not however flop here—they
expressly exhorted the people to refill
' the constitutional idts of government. —
Pe«taps it might be f»id that theie
, trarifa&ions were in an obfeure part of
the country* and that the members
were contemptible, in influence and in
j foimatiori.— Fbc fame could not be
said of the society in this city, the centre
' of information, and the members refpec
' table for their rank in life ar.d for their
political knowledge. This society had
| expressly denounced evcrr trwfti who had
I assented to certain huvs, ffi tyrants ; and
at the fame time had declared that none
would submit to them but (laves. L'et
gentlemen, said he, dcteimine what ef
fefls might reasonably bt fuppofe# sb
result from such denunciations and de
clarations, ilTutng from the fcSt of go
vernment among the ignorant qnd Unen
lightened Inhabitants beyond the moun
tains. ,
It ought tp be observed, he said) that
at the time of firft instituting thefi f6ei
eties, the flape of sedition in. the fce#e
of {he infurreftion was almost smother
ed, but on the promulgation of their
fenfiments, it kindled into a blaze <vhich
threatened to involve in a general Con
flagration the peace, happlnefs,- and fi
befties of our country.
He said these were the facta which
the confederation of the fubjeit invol-
and it was for the committee to de
termine whether the President or these
pernicious focfeties ftiould on thiSs occa
sion receive the countenance and sup
port of the representatives of the peo
ple.
Mr. Rutherford. This alarm is ow
ing to AN OVERGROWN MONIKD SY
STEM, with which the people are not
entirely fatisfied. But the money-hold
ers need not be afraid. The people will
j pay the public debt. Then why dif
I turb the traffqfiility of the peopli? Tlie
President, in his ipeeeh, points only at
combinations ov«r ilte mountains. As
to the character of the Ptelident him
felf, to praise him was like holding up
a rnlh candle to ltet us fee the fun. " I
have known that man," said Mr. Ru
therford, "for these forty \ears. I
have had the honor of serving under
him in the last wai, and of frequently
executing his wife and noble orders."
The member declared that this amend
ment could answer 110 ptirpofe but that
of diftnrbing the public peace. He
himfelf reprefentcd as rcfpe&able a dif
tridl as any in Virginia, and he had as
good opportunities, as any" gentleman
in that house, to know the temper of
Americans. They wete firmly attached
to the present government, and the
holders of paper need not be so much
all aid ot democratic societies, for the
people, to preserve the public tranquilli
ty were determined to discharge the
public debt, no matter how it was con
traited, and therefore it would be much
better hot to harrafs the public mind
with amendment* like that on the ta
ble.
Mr. M'Dowell rose to make *n apo
logy for some words which had efcaptd
him the day before. He did not ex
pert to have been so smartly handled.
He had been forcibfy ft ruck *t the time,
and had spoken from a momentary im
pulse. In substance, however, he ad
hered to all his former allegations. He
still perfitled to believe that the excifelams
•wereJbapen in darkness. He apologised
for some part of his heat, from having
seen and fuffered so much by despotic
government, during'the last war, in
which this gentleman supported, the
chara&er of a brave and able officer.
Mr. Hillhoufe approved of the a
mendment as proposed by Mr. Fitzfi
rr.ous. Constituents made no fcrupleto
tell Representatives of their faults, and
he saw no reason why representatives
might not tell conftitucnts of theirs?
! The resolutions of Democratic foeieties
printed in the newspapers, had spirited
up the people in the western counties
to resistance. They had weakly fancied
• that the American nation would not
stand by their Conftitufion and their
President. • But, for the publication of
these resolutions, there would have been
no inlurreftion. This was a piece of
information which the people of the
Ui ited States had a right to know. It
was the duty of that house to let them
know it. The President had done his j
duty. Mr. Hillhonfe did not collider j
the present amendment, (of Mr. Fitz
fimocs) as an indiscriminate cenfuie le-
veiled at thcfe Cociet ««; he thought (1
only a suitable aufwer to that pi t »l
the President's fpecch. ■
It was ianiuLcrlat to his m : nJ tfßfthri
these societies weie legal or not—Lc cuu
fidered that the Prelidejit would be un
der inuilpenfable obligations, to an
nounce to the twp honu-s, 4lie proceed
ings of any, and all public bodies so
far at he conceived the public iiitcrell
was involved.
Mr. Parker concludcd this long as
b«eby a fixjit feriei.'ot rt;n. rks. He
did not think tlrat Democrat L- socie
ties were so far to blame as had been
imagined. He fnfpetled that the
fident himfelf, for wliofe character and
services, he felt as much icfpe£t and
gratitude, asany man in America, had
been somewhat misinformed, on this
point. It vvoold be absurd ta'fay, that
the wellern diltifrbances originated from
the publicAi»n» of democratic societies,
if it could be proved, to ihc iatisfa£ti
ofi of the committee, th*f litth dilturb
aucesliad begun, long before any of
the atToci'ations alluded to had a being.
To prove this potition Mr. Parker desir
ed that desk-might read a passage
'frbm.tHt; }:tt£r on that buliiieft written
by Ms." iwd wliich has already
bjeeh pubfimSa tn.a'lf, the newfpap£rs.
The clerk accordingly .read,a part of
the letter* frofn which Mr. Parkef in
sisted that his inference was jncontcfli
ble, and he then slated tfie abfurdlty of
making thfc democratic publications the
Origin of a difeontent, which cxifted
before them. He was fatished that the
President c'id n6t vvifii ibis thing echoed :
and that he would entirely disapprove of
the proposed perfection. Mr. Parker
said, that he had the honor of fc&ngan
honorary jnember of a democratic foci-:
ety. Personally he knew nothing of
the gentlemen, but he understood that
they were refpeflable characters; and
that they are friends to good ord#r and .
the federal government, there could be
no" question, for when the embargo, was
laid lall.fpring, and fume reffels had
been attempting to get off, thcfe vigi
lant.citizens armed and embodied thefn
fe!ve3, and prevented the execution of
the deiign. He mentioned Snothei in
stance of their zeal fm good order, but
spoke in folbw a voieefchat he was not,
in every pait of the house, diftfn&ly
heard. With all his relpett for the
Pfefident, he was not to give up his
fentifrcnts or opinions for the fake of
any mau. lie was convinced that all
j this violent dev-lamjtlKin aud irritation
in the ho life, would do a great deal of
mifchief tthen it tranfpiieJ, and would
have aa eflcft exaflly the reverse of
what was defigued by the arficndm.; nr,
as it fit It flood. A gentleman f Mr.
Dextea) had spoke of town meetings,
as the proper vehicles for the communi
cation of politiial ideas, and had drawn
a comparison between thefcanddemocra
tic locieiies. Mr. Parker requelted
that it might be noticed j that in the
southern dates there neither were nor
could be fucli things as town meetings,
because the population was toci thin and
too widely scattered. Tlrey were thert
i fore to make the best of it which th«y
could, and meet and deliberate, no mat
ter where, whenever they found a con
venient opportunity. Mr. Parker ex
prefied in Itrong terms, the aversion
that bis constituents would k-el to this
species of censorship. He concluded
with these words. " Tlier fove your
government much, but they love theii
! ihdependence more."
